Connected Mine Performance

A flexible, modular and scalable application architecture unlocks the potential of your data.

Connected Mine Performance provides an integrating software layer which brings together data from disparate, incompatible and sometimes proprietary third-party systems.  This enables IA clients to easily measure, manage and optimise their operations in near-real-time, from a local, regional, and corporate perspective.

Connected Mine Performance has a comprehensive and expanding suite of reports that provide immediate insight into our client’s operations. Once the routine reporting is automated, clients move to analysis and comparison of its performances.

The IA products have at their core a strong, flexible and genuinely global database model that is not constrained by language, time zones, unit of measure, currency, organisational structure or commodity.

The systems architecture separates data acquisition, data storage and reporting components, which allows for the easy integration of the latest or enhanced data acquisition systems and manual recording systems.

Third party systems commonly integrated with include fleet management systems, drill monitoring and positioning systems, equipment health and monitoring systems capture a vast quantity and detail of raw data. By correlating key sources of raw data and applying business rules, validation and combined data warehousing, the solution successfully transforms raw data into vital information helping to drive business decisions.

Add even more value when combined with Connected Process Performance.

Connected Mine Performance contains modules that correspond to the primary disciplines of an operation.
